My caps from Keith were supposed to arrive between 3/27 and 4/3. On 4/8 I put in a notice for the caps with the Australian carrier. Last note on tracking said arrived at destination country 3/30 and left sorting facility 3/31.... sender was posting efforts to locate the cap then those disappeared and a new "parcel arrived at destination country" posted on my COVID-19 birthday, 4/14. So, hopefully this means they found the package and it's back on track! I was certain someone took the opportunity of this pandemic to pilfer my precious package of (nearly) purloined caps!
Hope springs eternal, or something like that...
That linen cap looks great on you @jonesy86 !

I ordered a cap from Ireland and it was stuck in NY post office for 8 days, no explanation. Now I ordered one from England and it's been stuck in Heathrow for a day and a half, no idea when it will be sent on to the US:

Ordering caps/hats during this Covid shutdown is just a roll of the dice

A traipse thru my neighborhood this morning found me enjoying watching the local eagles. I included a pic of one of the roosts. A Jonathan Cordova cap was my headgear for the nature ramble.

I have some masks coming from Monsavais, as well as an inquiry to see if they can make me a cap out of a light weight cloth suitable for the tropics.

I have a couple of his lighter unlined caps for warm weather. They work for Minnesota. Hawaii, I have to depend on your insight.
My visits to Hawaii have been in the fall season. I have visited the island of Oahu several times in the late 70's. Then again big island for a few years in the early 80's. Since retiring from long triathlons I have not visited Hawaii. I do need to correct this. My wife and I would like to vacation in Hawaii in the next couple years.
Pre-pandemic I was planning on being in Tokyo during July/August. That is not going to happen. In any case I had been working with Keith LoBlue to source a warmer weather cap. It has changed to a being a Fall cap. I received a couple suggestions today from Keith. This weekend I should finalize a new Fall cap.
Cheers sir. Enjoy your serious nice neighborhood.

Alex has it pinned down tight - you do resemble Quint in Jaws. I did not know the quote and when I looked it up via Google your doppelganger came up.
Thanks for sharing the pics of your blue wool cap. Must be warmer in your neighborhood to wear a summer cap. Congrats.
Yesterday I wore a Monsavias cap.

Sounds interesting. I love the Stracciatella gelato I've had in the past. Ritter even made a chocolate bar in that fashion.
Eric says you posted pics, but I don't see any. May be from a previous post?

R. Lee Ermey remembrance cap
I included the post/pics from last week Tuesday. Oops they do not accompany the quote - darn it. Anyways - last Tuesday.
Gelato - torture. I love well made gelato. It is truly a treat. That is something that I have failed miserably trying to make at home. Someday when the pandemic is at an end I look forward to having a gelato treat. It is something to look forward to.
Best wishes to all and their families for good physical and mental health, Eric -

I like the pattern.
This morning I was out in a Cordova Cap. I am really enjoying this brown and black patterned diamond weave. Jonathan Cordova's newer stitched brim makes it so comfy to get a curl or to take on and off.
